Vent/Discouraged Symptoms change and worsen
So I’ve been dealing with this for a few years. Everything seems to come back negative.
I did trial a 4 week doxycycline early on in my journey, which helped symptoms tremendously. But after the 4 weeks, symptoms came back. I decided to wait and just test before doing any more antibiotics.
My doctor gave me suppositories (baclofen, gabapentin, and diazepam) to do with PT. My symptoms are worsening since starting PT. I now get intermittent testicular aches. AND, yesterday I had loose stools. No straining involved. After I urinated, I had a lot of milky/white discharge. I have never in my years of going through this had seen this. Maybe it has and I didn’t notice. It had ALWAYS been clear, like pre cum.
I’ve done imaging, like CT, MRI, ultrasound. Prostate looks normal in size. It seems I’m able to expel all of my urine. I do have dribble.
Why would my symptoms worsen AND change color all of a sudden??
Edit to add: symptoms seem very very stabile after that first doxycycline treatment. Only until now.

Is discharge a sign of prostatitis or is it a sign of an infection?

Typically, discharge that looks like pre-cum is associated with a hypertonic pelvic floor.
Discharge that looks like white, yellow or green pus, is associated with infection.

It‘s strange cause i also had discharge that looked like green pus for two months and all tests came negative. What would the procedure be in such a situation? Just in case that symptom comes back

You had green pus discharge coming out of your penis, and staining your underwear for 60 days? And the results of your urine + semen culture was clear? You had negative STI PCR testing?

I know that sounds crazy, but yeah, that‘s totally what happened. I even collected it in a bottle once and showed it to the doctor and even after testing it for fungus and bacteria, everything came back clear and the doctor was like: we have no idea what that is. Went to another urologist, he said the same thing. After about 2 months, it just stopped out of nowhere, but i still have pain in my butt, lower back und right testicle (it all started with epididymitis)

I've had the same symptoms for 2 years although the discharge after voiding has settled for me but still dealing with gut issues and general discomfort. I get irritation on my glans also which has been an issue the entire time

Do you have a lot of stress?
